Does this work with standby mode on computers? Have an imac and sadly my Belkin cuts power on standby.

Here's the what the ZuniDigital Troubleshooting sheet says: "[The Problem]When my computer enters sleep mode, the power is cut off to the linked peripheral devices. [The Answer]Every computer utilizes different levels of power. We have designed the ZuniDigital Green Surge Protector to operate with 98% of known power values. Some computers may have an energy usage level in sleep mode below our threshold [14 watts], and then our surge protector will automatically turn off the switched outlets when your computer goes to sleep. This will not harm these devices and your computer will still operate, and when awakened, power will be restored automatically to the linked outlets and to your peripheral devices. If needed, you can plug any peripheral into the Constant Outlets." And related: "The ZuniDigital Green Surge Protector activates the peripheral devices based on the power loads of the master device. If the device you are using as the master device draws less than l4 watts then this will not be sufficient to control the switching mechanism. Please consult your owner's manual for the proposed master device." Hope this helps. There are other brands which have a variable threshold. This product does not.

I spoke to tech support and they said that the 14 watts is product dependent, i.e. is the 14 watts from resistive source or inductive source. My LG HDTV draws 28.3 Watts but is on "the margin" and may or may not work. But there are 2 outlets that are always powered and do not turn off if the main source goes below threshold.Their Tech services department was every helpful and gave me a straight up answer.

I use it on a Yamaha receiver. I would tend to believe any desktop or laptop that hibernates or goes to sleep will shut the attached devices off. Search the other reviews of "laptop" or "computer."

Using it with my MacPro, power to the outlets remains on while the computer is sleeping.

Works on my iMac but I have issues burning blu-rays because of my sleep settings. I had to change it to get it to work.

I have this between a Mac Mini and PC, the switch over is instant when one of the computers is turned off. I have never tried to toggle between them when they both are running, my HP monitor will not auto stitch between them so I just use one or the other depending on what I want to do.

It is on when there is power. I tell my devices to connect to it without touching anything on the Belkin and it connects right up. I highly recommend getting the USB to barrel connector mentioned in a previous review from digi-key. Using an inverter with it in the car produced horrible buzz. Using the digi-key cable and a USB car charger it works beautifully.

Most of these enclosures will work with the MAC. It's a standard interface. However, I have seen a few that don't work very well. This particular one works fine. I tried it an one of my MACs even though I mainly purchased it for the PC. It should work with any voltage just so long as you use the correct wall-wart power supply. The supplied one is a digital switching supply with a US style plug. I don't know if a simple plug adapter will work. I would just get a 240V-to-12V wall-wart. It does (like all of the external enclosures) require a power adapter with a 1 or 2 amp current capability. That's why the use digital adapters. That way they do not need a heavy transformer.

I would suggest calling Delkin at (800) 637-8087 and asking them directly.. they are very knowledgeable and helpful. I use mine with an iMac.. and any answer I would have would just be a guess

Yes, it needs a free power socket. I use it on Mountain Lion so can't answer regarding Mavericks.

I am sorry MJ but I have never had a Mac so I cannot answer your question. My advise is to go online and contact Belkin as I am sure they can give you the help you need. Good luck.

I had the same problem. There are two possibilities (1) the unit is not drawing enough power or (2) it does not work with your computer. This unit was not compatible with two Macs that I tested it on. It would not work and I could not resolve the problem. I had to return it. If you are on a Mac, then probably it will not work for you. If you are on a PC, see if you can get the unit more power.

Paired it with Mac Mini, some times disconnects if idle for a long time (15+ min) but switching it off and back on again fixes the issue

HI :) I use this on my iMac and never have any issues ! I don't see why you would either ? This is my second one ( had the first one for over 4 years and never had a problem) I would recommend it :) John

I just tried it. I put my computer in sleep mode and all the devices that are plugged into the controlled slot turned off. So if your peripherals are plugged into the the controlled slots they will turn off.

No, i never try. I always have a load on it, and if I turn things off it goes to a standby or power save mode automatically.My inverter have been running for more then 2 years now. With no problems so for.

My simple answer is "Yes". When power returns (having gone), the monitor powers up on its own.

Mine works without a power adapter, just the firewire connection. I guess that depends on whether your firewire port is powered or not. I use it on a MBP and it works like a charm.

I have used one on my iMac for 9 years with no trouble. Plugged it in and started using it.

My belkin is always attached to my MacBook and i have used it to charge my iPhone. But i would assume that due to the separate power supply it would. But check the specs for certainty
